Re: XP

I've used VB and COM and COM+ on win XP.  I have a 3 tier app that will use
XP on the front 2000 on the middle and an Oracle backend.  I have
successfully used the COM+ export functionality to create application
proxies and have installed them on WinXP.  I also have a client EXE that was
compiled on Win2K that runs on the WinXP machine.  I did have one problem
where Xp couldn't register one of the classes in the COM+ application.  I
had to recompile the dll without binary compatibility.  After that
everything worked.

I have also used VB and VB developed classic COM objects on xp and haven't
seen any problems.

Hello,

We have a VB6 application, running in a 3-tier environment, with VB6
components, running under W2K and a database server SQL2K.
What's bothering us is that 'till now, our environment used to be 90% W98
and 10% W2K Professional. But we've recently purchased a notebook running
WXP and couldn't find anything about VB6 and WXP compatibility advising that
it was or compatible nor incompatible. So, we were wondering if anyone in
the list would be so kind to help us finding some answers about this. Any
help would be appreciated.

Plus, I have a personal doubt. Have been reading few things about the W2K
readiness Kit but didn't find anything also about the features that are
included in it and if it is necessary to run the VB6 apps and why...

Thanks in advance,
